The Transalpina by Motorcycle - a must see!

[@vetworker]

I absolutely loved exploring Romania. I was last there in 2004 when there were very few roads and very few vehicles. I did a bit of the trans alpina by car which was awesome by bike it must be awesome. Romania is a hidden gem.

[@Denis-ed3cm]

many things changed since 2004.

[@davidmallia628]

Pity, the wet conditions. Done that transalpina, and it is so much more fun, in the dry. You are spot on about Romania, a motorbike paradise, whatever bike you ride.

[@cxmario5375]

Absolutely love the fact it’s peeing down and you’re still loving it! 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻😉

[@GallinaBlanca001]

You REALLY have to do this again hoping for sunny weather cause it's an incredible experience.

[@andyreminch6550]

Ohh goodie..adventure time👌👍😁💚

[@aussiegeekrider]

Awesome video and Romania is awesome. Loads of mountains and twisties. Transalpina and Transfagarasan both awesome to ride on, awesome views and nice people.

[@danielsalvadorgodoygil5804]

Saludos Amigo BRUCE!!! Muy Guapo el vídeo 💪💪💪

[@hywelprice9201]

Had a very similar experience in France near Carcassonne. Beautiful views apparently. At 20mph we should have been going slowly enough to take them in, but with visibility at about 20m we could barely see the road ahead. Great video. Keep them coming.

[@afandou1966]

Thanks for helping me decide on my next bike.

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

Wowzers. Cracking roads, shame the weather wasn't on your side so we could see the scenery too. Looking forward to the next one.

[@Banditmanuk]

That road looks like it would be absolutely amazing in the dry. Feel for all of you who've travelled so far when the weather isn't with you. Poor TMF..... he might make it that far if there are enough 4 star hotels on route

[@Kojak-zh7qo]

Brilliant again mate not tried that one yet but it’s on my hit list,shame about the fog and rain ,,,,,,,just have to do it again lol 😂👍

[@transylvanianrider]

Congrats for the video! I'm from Cluj, and loved to see a different riding experience for the same tour i did a few weeks ago🤘 Best regards from Transylvania!

[@ClassicRides]

Well that road looked amazing, even with the mist. Thanks for taking us along!

[@Skiliq]

Shame about the weather, have to agree with Martin's comment, going to have to go back and do it again in the dry. Hopefully one day I can set aside some time and money to experience it myself.

[@thomasjamesperkins]

Great video Bruce, thanks for sharing this with us. I remember when you first went self employed and decided to try and make it work being a full time KZbinr. Id love to see another video with an update on how the business side of things are going and how we can help you

[@garthmctavish7335]

Looked like fun and had some offroad sections. Too bad about the rain. 😎👍🍻

[@deepjoyrides]

Awesome looking roads. Lucky you & Martin were on the best bike in the world for the rough bits 😉

[@beans4491]

Great video Bruce, ive never considered Romania……looks like i need to, those roads are amazing. You have a great riding riding possi too. Kind regards mate.

[@dockerandy]

Awesome ! cheers Bruce. shame about the fog !

[@RedHatDiaries]

Awesome vid Bruce, nice mix of riding, music and commentary. Can see the care and effort you put into the vid 👍

[@shawngreenwood7288]

Snow in the alpine, the road is awesome.

[@HalfManHalfPirate]

Love watching the trip vids, Looks great apart from the rain but like you say, there's nothing you can do about it but crack on! It just means you have to go back and do it again in the dry 😁

[@teapotone]

Ha Ha, ah ok then, if I must! Cheers bud 👍

[@chrisnielsen9885]

Changing batteries when you have the media mod is such an incredible pain in the ass, good on ya for putting up with that without complaining.

[@martinhughes9769]

Been waiting for days for this video loving the scenery and the commentary hopefully there's more coming, Not so sure about the weather and fog ,

[@garethcouhig6055]

Good one 👍🇮🇲

[@davidsandilands1285]

Cracking vid, really captured the days riding. got to go back do it again, but hopefully in the dry.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Love it! Keep em coming cheers 😁

[@lynsmith1096]

Another good 1 Bruce

[@teapotone]

Thanks Lyn 👍

[@simonbeal2148]

i can confirm the views are pretty special from the transalpina. just wetted my apetite for a return visit 👍

[@MrRazvansogodel]

Love it !!!! 👍🐻

[@thomasreimer1767]

Look's fantastic, just wished weather was better. The views would have been amazing I guess.

[@petervautmans199]

great trip, obviously. I'm very interested in the tyres your on, they obviously work in the wet and the cold, so they would be good to mount on my XR for winter commute in Belgium.

[@teapotone]

They’re Dunlop Meridian’s👍

[@dragos763]

That's not fog... you were with your head in the clouds. The highest altitude is about 2300 m... which I think (not sure) it si even higher than Transfagarasan. I have done this trip last year coming from south, Transalpina, stop-over in Sibiu and returned home by Transfagarasan. Best trip ever.

The writer wrote Dracula in uk, witby he was taken a break and he seen the gothic Witby cathedral. He never visited Transilvania or the castle when he wrote the Dracula

[@tbonesenior6736]

Fantastic video

[@ToxicChillz]

Have to say, major shame about the weather on the mountain, amazing edit as usual man :)

[@MavsPerHour]

what case are you using sir? its water proof!amazing

[@teapotone]

It’s one off eBay, wireless charging and even has a usb port. Fits most phones and yes it’s waterproof - as in it’s unaffected by rain etc. Most modern smartphones are waterproof anyway. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134152167375?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=NPeBrmLgQ7a&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=2ajOQ692S_-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@pursuitofhappiness..]

Cheers 🍻,,ride safe and waiting for drakula

[@pw3591]

Most of those road surfaces look better than get in the UK !!

[@ryanmalone2681]

Such a cool trip. Just a question though: if you’re only staying on the asphalt, why the ADV helmet? With a normal helmet you could have a clear visor and then a flip down tinted visor on the outside or inside? Seems like you needed it.

[@teapotone]

I like the look of the peaked lid, plus it’s very handy for keeping sun out your eyes at times. I’ve got a few other ‘normal’ lids but never really wear them now

[@ticthedog6095]

👍 Great video, looking forward to the rest of the series. Do you still run the Chicken Strips Tours?

[@teapotone]

Cheers Tic, aye I’m away on one now actually. I’ll have the 2023 tour calendar ready around the end of October 👍

[@andybrown3508]

Great video as always . Was wondering how many miles have you done on your GS

[@teapotone]

Cheers Andy, she’s at around 37k miles at the mo I think

[@andybrown3508]

@@teapotone cheers for reply , so they are a great work horse 🐎 👍

[@DLL969]

Hi there, I'm really enjoying your touring vids. Have you done a video on how you have mounted your nav? Is that the BMW phone mount that fits their unit?

[@teapotone]

No it’s just a cheap one from Amazon, been using it about 3yrs now amzn.to/3PDbeXS

[@DLL969]

@@teapotone thank you. It looks like the new BMW one that charges the phone

[@121MotoSkills]

Cracking vid! How are you waterproofing your gopro when using mics? You still using the wax earplug trick? Keep up the great vids

[@teapotone]

Yes bud, the mouldable putty seems to do the job in all but the heaviest of rain storms

[@121MotoSkills]

@@teapotone nice one pal. Really enjoy your vids. Nicely narrated, bit of music and Scottish humor 👌🏻 canna beat it min.

[@121MotoSkills]

@@teapotone think your getting spammed pal? Seen this 'win a prize' on other channels 😪

[@teapotone]

Aye sorry about that, been loads of comments today about it 🤦‍♂️ I’m reporting every one I find, cheers for letting me know 👍

[@121MotoSkills]

@@teapotone no need to apologise! I feel sorry for you and others this happens to. Its a pain in the hoop! I sometimes get really dodgy comments that I have to report and delete straight away. Anyways keep up the great content and ride safe 😎🏍

What time of year did you go to Romania? Please could you let me know.

Hi Terry, I was there the last week in May’22
